The ethical issue is consent and normalisation: asking individuals to donate to a system they believe is undermining their livelihood and the commons they depend on, while the amplified value is captured somewhere else. "It barely chan

The ethical framework is simply this one: what is the worth of doing +1 to everyone, if the very thing you wish didn't exist (because you believe it is destroying the world) benefits x10 more from it? If bringing fire to a species ligh

GenAI would be decades away (if not more) with only proprietary software (which would never have reached both the quality, coordination and volume open source enabled in such a relatively short time frame).

Ha! I was expecting/wondering something about the semantics of )( parenthesis (which I have no idea what it could be, but... why not?)

The problem is the way this is written and formulated, these red flags "this thing has been thought and written extensively with an LLM" make the whole (rather compelling at first consideration but hollow-feeling when thinking mor

Saying #1 and #2 are not possible or not likely is not a good take, in a world where our digital accounts take more and more a central place in our daily lives. It may work for autocratic societies, it won't cut it for democratic ones:

If it were this inevitable, would AI be pushed down our throats, against our will, against our own laws, even, so hard?

A good culture, as time goes, is not reactionary and conservative, if only because it opens itself to the contribution of the younger generations.

It wouldn't fit most of the current LLM cloud providers narrative about privacy and copyright either, so, not sure they would be as cooperative with a prosecutor as they are today with lawmakers and right holders.

That was my point. Not comparing Apple/Dyson/whatever, but showing that website do have this need. If this was designed and implemented as a standard at the browser level, we would get something better in the end, rather than re-i

> Retribution to copyright holders for artistic work would make a lot of sense. Yes, but it does not solve everything. Because an artist does have (at least in music) a say in how their work is used. That's usually something contrac

Seeing the other replies about open source code being used for training, and inducing licensing issues, I recognise that this is effectively a similar issue, then, with artwork copyright issues.

Two things. 1. AI CEOs oversell, by a lot. OpenAI CFO admission that they are cooked unless the US government bails them out is a tell. 2. The (almost) purely utilitarian nature of software code is in contrast to the more personally meaning

It doesn't, because that's an optional negotiation. Try Apple.com in a different country/locale than yours, you'll see how it behaves.

More and more international audiences websites literally do this themselves, putting a language (sometimes even currency) select box option on top when they detect your settings don’t match best at first the page you are on. Why not have th

"Laziness", "put any minimal amount of effort", RTFM... that's exactly the kind of language and perspective that's the problem. The majority of your users are not lazy, they have gazillions of other things to t

Ah, good point. Sorry.

Not one: several mistakes, or several failures, or several people in a submarine. Those systems all have multiple stages that require several validation steps to work, we do that for way less sensitive processes. Nonetheless, yes, we'r

That's why from my perspective, almost everything is f'd up in tech at this point. Any update I may do to any project dependencies I have on my workstation? Either I bet, pray and hope that there's no malicious code in these.

Of course, but my point is that I don't think it's economically sustainable. If innovation/funding in AI stalls, those $20 will likely skyrocket fast.

Ok, running them locally, that's definitely a thing. But then, without this huge financial and tech bubble that's driven by these huge companies: 1/ will those models evolve, or new models appear, for a fraction of the cost o

The point is, after the bubble burst, will there be enough funds, cash flow and... a viable market, to make these still run?

It's an interesting take, and you may as well map it to industrial projects, architecture, software to see it from a different perspective. The timetable is the specs. The product is what your customers experience. The specs (loose or.

And it's still a huge thing that shifted with the Internet too. Prior to it, yes, there was international phone lines, but those were still expensive enough you might ignore them. Before then, I'd say around start of the 90's

The NFT idea was driven, pushed by people that did not practice, rely on, neither understood, what art is, and what art does. Those came from tech, from finance, from speculative finance. And that it got some temporary success in some speci

Won’t happen. There is way too much existing deployed systems depending on alternative open source systems, and a mn incentive to use them to keep using old hardware. And way too strong a strategic incentive not to depend on US tech alone.
